oh man i hate when this happens. Same thing on ios, applications want photo access and refuse to use the system photo picker and leave me with a very uncomfortable dilemma. And it's not like only small apps from indie devs that don't know better, it's actually the opposite.
I think we will begin to see more likely in the coming year or two with WebGPU support on the rise!
> they just didn't have a collection of blunders that allowed access

That is no little difference my friend!!!
https://github.com/bogdanfinn/tls-client is the go-to package for the go world, it does the same thing
Isn't Propeller bit problematic from educational point of view because it's design is so unique that knowledge from it is not so readily transferrable to mainstream hardware?
Z.200 CHILL: the ITU-T programming language
They clarified what resources mean in the updates.

They also used simplification models which don't account for many of the cascading problems that can't be directly quantified (i.e. dragon king events, debt defaults/ponzi failures, pollution (pfas). There was an austrian report that showed we are following the business as usual approach, and that we have dangerously overshot.

Brittle systems lead to unexpected and chaotic failures.

Failures in food production, or related logistics; would spell catastrophe since half the population is dependent on peacetime technological production methods.
Bluesky is not decentralized. It is a reference app built on top of a decentralized, social networking protocol -- AT Protocol.
Right, and this is all you need to point out to burst anyone's bubble who insists on behalf of "the people" that it's all too hard.

It just goes in circles with personal anecdotes that always coincidentally corroborate whatever position someone was already arguing for anyway. What would be really interesting to see is someone making the case against Mastodon but acknowledging that "people I know" weren't confused by it or vice versa.
According to 'The Information', AGI will be achieved only when OpenAI's AI systems generate profits exceeding $100 billion, so I'm guessing, for them, AGI = success.
I don't know, the experience with my mother in law over the last few weeks has left me wondering about that.

I certainly don't want a free for all system like the US has (and I suspect the Tories want) but it isn't great at the moment.
meta is large enough (and diversified enough), when OpenAI valuation goes to pennies (because LLM won't solve any real problem, nor they'll remain relevant in the long term and open source alternative are more than enough for most chatbot usecases), they can acquire all the relevant technologies from OpenAI, Anthropic and such. The real question is why google didn't release their models.
Nobody thought they were hiring people from North Korea, just saying.
Greenland's mineral resources are valued in the trillions.

They can be exploited for the benefit of the residents, why on earth would they sell that for the undefined "benefits" of being an exploited territory of either the US or China?
What else could "identical" mean?
If you run it on defaults for longest possible time (500 years), the outputs will reach the equilibrium state.

It is very simplified simulation, of course. But seems to indicate that even in the absence of expansion beyond our home planet, humanity will not go extinct, but rather settle into some ground state .
If I Could Wave a Magic Wand
Open question, why do people keep caring about socials that much?

Especially educated people should stay away from that toxicity. Boards like HN and occasionally Reddit, where it's mostly about discussing and being anonymous are the only places worth contributing on the internet other than personal blogs.
I get a similar warning (Complete with red symbols and forced waiting so you're "forced" to read) when installing external APK's on Android
While it feels like something Apple wouldn't do, it's a workable solution
> Need to hide things from state actors? Never touch a computer again and go live in a cave somewhere until they find you.

I always found this kind of thinking to be a bit unhelpful. Because what is an alternative? Paper? Hope you don't live in jurisdiction of the country because search warrant is not a difficult thing to get and even an illegal search is not that hard (even outside of the country).

As with everything - people in IT and IT security vastly underestimate the security of IT infrastructure while overestimating the security of non-IT infrastructure. IMO the use of computers makes you much more vulnerable to broad "we monitor the members public for signs of terrorism" kind of spying, rather than specific targeted state actor attacks - as was shown recently with the whole pager fiasco - there are many others non IT vulnerabilities around.
I love Nostr and run my own personal relay, as it's much simpler to set up than a Bluesky or Mastodon instance.

The idea of nonexistent moderation is untrue. The big relays get big because they only commit to the minimum necessary moderation, though there are plenty of smaller or topic-centric relays based on user allowlists, payments (regularly or per note), or admins enforcing pretty standard moderation systems. The system caters just fine to woke people.

'No moderation' isn't always the same as 'Freedom of speech'. Whatever you're posting, there will always be at least one relay willing to take your notes (if not, run your own) which you can broadcast to your followers.
What a ridiculous policy by itself.
I just meant sensor pixels, because you’re obviously losing those when cropping, but you get the same perspective as from larger focal length (since you’re not moving).
I just keep hearing the same point of inflection, about golf 5. Then there was a big decline, not only VW, but all the others also. What happened?!

aren't there some cameras that have swappable lenses? Does Nikon know anything about those?
Yes, I said it in the comment right above yours. In a conventional homeless shelter there are more people around and staff, meaning you're at least not alone with an attacker. Homeless people do get attacked by other homeless and street thugs.
Which is zero when it comes this sort of brainfart nonsense.

The Panama Canal belongs to Panama, Greenland belongs to its residents via Denmark, Canada is a sovereign nation.

Trump is just strutting, which is his standard position, pushing nonsense to his cult.
More importantly also give people a way to check and use that date. Is my employee using the car personally (a violation of the laws allowing me to deduct the car)? did my employee really use the correct route? is my wife cheating on me? Did my kids really go to the library or were they racing across town?

the above is all I can come up with. For many none of that applies and so the data can only be used against us.
That's true. It's probably one of the main themes of the modern era, in the arts and in life, the freedom to pursue individualism and novelty, and break with religion and tradition.

This meaning of "leaving home" as a cultural trend, I see it as part of the modern historical period that has passed its peak. We're living in the natural and logical result, and searching for a way back home.

> The modern era is closely associated with the development of individualism, capitalism, urbanization, and a belief in the positive possibilities of technological and political progress.

> It has been a period of significant development in the fields of science, politics, warfare, and technology. It has also been an Age of Discovery and globalization. During this time, the European powers and later their colonies, strengthened its political, economic, and cultural colonization of the rest of the world. It also created a new modern lifestyle and has permanently changed the way people around the world live.

> In the 19th and early 20th century, modernist art, politics, science, and culture have come to dominate not only Western Europe and North America, but almost every area on the globe, including movements thought of as opposed to the western world and globalization.

> The brutal wars and other conflicts of this era, many of which come from the effects of rapid change, and the connected loss of strength of traditional religious and ethical norms, have led to many reactions against modern development.
You are making incorrect assumptions about my priorities. I don't support the political right either, for the reasons you mentioned and more.
What CPU and memory specs do you have?
I found MIUI's solution to this quite well designed, even if it's a little infuriating when altering permissions for a list of apps. There's a big red warning with a user friendly description of the danger and a countdown to prevent quick click through, locked behind an "I accept the risk" checkbox. You need to read at least one UI element that says "danger" before you can complete the interaction.

If such popups were introduced in iOS, they should be universal, of course, and the same danger prompts should show for Apple's software as for their competitors. Apple won't do that (outside of the EU) but it'd be a solution to the data hunger without compromising market accessibility too much.

A good alternative would be for Apple to remove APIs entirely, including for themselves. If they consider some data and some interactivity to be too dangerous for users, perhaps they shouldn't be messing with it either.

Apple makes a habit out of exaggerating the dangers of complying with any regulation. Just a bit of fear mongering gets their fans in a state where they'll maintain Apple's walled garden even when they stand to benefit from it being opened up.
I added a comment to the issue here: https://github.com/scrtwpns/mixbox/issues/15
If it was as an actual 51st state, with 2 Senators, full citizenship for all residents, etc, then maybe it would make sense.

But that is not what the US is in any way offering.

Trump wants a colony that can be exploited.
Ask HN: What are the vulnerable Chrome extensions?
I’ve read about the hacking details but I can’t seem to find what extensions are affected. On my windows PC I noticed yesterday it’s not longer providing me the lists of sign in account for website login pages. I switched to Linux and it works fine. Could it be as a precaution this is being disabled on Windows Chrome? Because when I visit password manager the password are there but I need to manually enter them. They are no longer showing up for me to use them as prefilled. So wondering if maybe one of my extensions were affected. (I’ve for now disabled all)

But would be nice to know what extensions are vulnerable to.
It’s more that our major markets are totally dominated by the standard pattern and there are no meaningful alternatives outside of bike and mass transit, which are not meaningful alternatives to vehicle ownership.
https://www.tubeshotapp.com/ - I'm working on a Free Chrome extension to help reduce time wasted on YouTube.
I've never been able to find it again, but there was a really interesting discussion on [ATP](https://atp.fm/) a long while back where John Siracusa was floating the idea of a 'less free' social network and I've really, really wanted one ever since. Honestly, Hacker News is pretty close to that in the sense that low-value content is unceremoniously removed, which must contribute to the overall better quality here.
This is exactly what I’m building at https://www.get-vox.com - it automatically detects your local models installed via Ollama.

It is fast, native and cross-platform (built with Qt using C++ and QML).
> they just didn't have a collection of blunders that allowed access

Correction:

They just don't have a known collection of blunders that allow access.

I bet if you look closely you’ll find more.
Concurrency is very important these days though. Yet it is an extremely hard to solve problem in Emacs, due to tons of mutable global state, ingrained for decades, very hard to convert to something that works OK when running concurrently.

I use Emacs every day. It is my editor and in general tool of choice. However, the longer the concurrency story is not improved, the more advantages do other projects accumulate, because this concurrency thing is part of everything. Even VSCode seems to be better at concurrency. What a shame.

I think the only way in Emacs to properly use multiple cores for speedup is to start external processes. Sometimes that is a natural thing to do. But one also needs to process the result of an external process. Say for example a huge git diff in a magit buffer. All that stuff needs to be rendered/fontified. Editor locks up. That's just really bad. And people discuss workarounds all the time, writing code with these limitations in mind, meaning, that this makes code more complex everywhere.
If Youtube put Mr Beast out of business today, they would still have paid him an enormous amount of money over the course of years. Not to mention the hundred million dollar Amazon Prime deal that came out this week, and his Feastables brand.

This isn't an academic exercise, do we see anyone outside of the platforms gaining the success that the creators inside the platforms do? I'd be happy to note anyone I've just totally missed, but these platforms really do actually work.
Show HN: I made a tool that helps curate links your friends share
Hey HN!

I used to spend hours consuming content, and realized that the content didn't end up making me feel happier or more productive.

AI generated bloat content is increasing, and I've realized that the quality density of the content that my friends send me is way higher.

This is why I built Curatee - a way to follow the content that people you know share. The (hyperbolic) mission can be found at https://www.curatee.co/mission, and an example page at https://www.curatee.co/u/het.

I am currently working on a chrome extension, auto summaries, and an iOS app for the same. Also trying to solve the cold start problem by creating accounts that fetch and post content themselves (think for example the DeepMind blog).

I'd love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and criticism! I know the problem exists, I'm just not sure about the solution I built.
I somehow accidentally made you think that I was trying to have a debate about doomers, but I wasn't which is why I prefixed it with "fwiw" (meaning for-what-it's-worth; I'm a random on the internet, so my words aren't worth anything, certainly not worth debating at length) Sorry if I misrepresented my position. To be clear, I have no intense intellectual or emotional investment in doomer ideas nor in criticism of doomer ideas.

Anyway,

> You're definitely mixing things up, and the set of things may include fiction. 2000 years doesn't get you out of the thick disk region of our own galaxy at the speed of light.

Here's what Arthur Breitman wrote[^0] so you can take it up with him, not me:

"

1) [Energy] on planet is more valuable because more immediately accessible.

2) Humans can build AI that can use energy off-planet so, by extension, we are potential consumers of those resources.

3) The total power of all the stars of the observable universe is about 2 × 10^49 W. We consume about 2 × 10^13 W (excluding all biomass solar consumption!). If consumption increases by just 4% a year, there's room for only about 2000 years of growth.

"

About funding:

>> The doomers have also been funded to the tune of half a billion dollars and counting.

> I've never heard such a claim. LessWrong.com has funding more like a few million

"
A young nonprofit [The Future of Life Institute] pushing for strict safety rules on artificial intelligence recently landed more than a half-billion dollars from a single cryptocurrency tycoon — a gift that starkly illuminates the rising financial power of AI-focused organizations.

#2 is absolutely ridiculous. As OP said:

> 2) is ridiculous speculation and fearmongering. Why shouldn't I feel the same about Tesla's or any other car?

The idea expressed is the notion that one should be afraid of this "special threat" posed by Chinese-made vehicles... which is utter nonsense and fearmongering.

It seems like you and the OP are in agreement here.

EDIT: Fixed my bad Engrish and grammar in the second-to-last paragraph
Amazon does have uber millions though
interesting to read the Icelandic Version of „oligarchs in power want xyz“.

Although it doesn’t make sense, because the influx of cheap money would make joining the EU an obvious boon for that class, wouldn’t it?
It could be that the TCP streams are the same, but packetiation is different.

It could mean that the packets are the same, but timing is off by a few milliseconds.

It could mean a single HTTP request exactly matches, but when doing two requests the real browser uses a connection pool but curl doesn't. Or uses HTTP/3's fast-open abilities, etc.

etc.
There’s a broadly believed myth that it produces meaningful professional opportunities among certain folks in the industry. In my observations this is very rarely true, and in many more cases it’s a professional liability.
New cars are all equipped with SIM cards.
I hate this stuff. Someone tried to sign up to a crypto exchange with my phone number. :| 3 times they had the code resent!
Big fan of Denmark!

But where in the world did you get the idea people in Denmark do “much better” than people in even the poorest US state?

Median income in the poorest US state (Mississippi) is slightly higher than median income in Denmark, with much lower taxes even if you consider private health insurance a tax.

A similar analysis of people in the poorest decile, after famously stingy US transfer payments, has disposable income for the poor in Mississippi coming out ahead of being poor in Denmark.

I keep seeing folks make this argument. I would love to live in Denmark, but the reason to live there is not because of higher income. The US is just much, much richer than almost all of Europe (Switzerland and Luxembourg are the exceptions, not Denmark).

It’s totally fine to value things like social cohesion, terrific bike infrastructure, and low income inequality. Those are areas Denmark beats the US.

But income? It’s not even close.
The packets from Chrome wouldn't be exactly the same as packets sent by Chrome at a different time either. "The exact same packets" is not a viable benchmark, since both the client and the server randomize the payloads in various ways. (E.g. key exchange, GREASE).
And born date! Just a little bit of background: if you call to any clinic or private service, health or otherwise, is custom in Germany to verify your identity asking your born date and address; both fields were disclosed. So if I see X parks in a clinic, I could call and get the results of any treatment or whatever… just terrible !
Good news, they get to keep all of them. In the US, natural resources belong to whoever owns the land, which would be the state government and the people of Greenland.

Y'all can fear-monger about 'neo-colonialism', but the only nation that has ever exploited Greenland has been Denmark, what with its actual colonialism.
As a German I couldn’t agree more. Whoever is trying to sell you joining the EU is wise, run away from them as fast as you can.

Considering its remoteness and population size, where Iceland sits today as country is an absolute success story. Don’t give up your sovereignty.
Right, which Amazon originally accomplished with huge assistance from expensive contracts with UPS, but they used software (and new hardware) and mobile internet technology to figure out how to reduce their delivery costs by being able to figure out how to incentivize cheaper independent contractors to deliver their packages, rather than expensive UPS union employees.
> The reality is that most users don't ever read any message the phone gives to them, they just treat it like any other popup and press yes.

The only part I disagree with is that it's limited to phones, it absolutely isn't. It's any computing device, be it a general purpose PC, a tablet, a phone, your car's infotainment system, what have you.

The large majority of the population does not understand how these devices work, and what kinds of problems they can create if used unsafely, and they don't care to know. And like, I get why: life is complicated enough as it is. Simple fact is when Joe Consumer pulls a new TV out of it's box and it comes with the contrast and color saturation through the ceiling so everything looks like shit, and motion smoothing is adding 60ms of delay to the response of connected hardware, he's fine with that. I don't like that for him, and I wish he wasn't, but most people just don't care. Most people want to speed run whatever damn things they gotta click to make the stupid light and noise machine do what they need it to do, so they can resume their idle time.

That's why if we actually want to make progress on reigning in these socially corrosive services, we need not just options, but a set of default settings, mandated by law, that respects user privacy. As a user of electricity, I do not need to be informed about how electricity works to safely use my outlets. As a user of water, I do not need to be informed about how plumbing works to safely take a shower. I shouldn't need to know jack about smartphones or computers either in order to not have my personal information used to sell me gross new flavors of Coke.
If there were viruses on your computer you wouldn't suspect them anyways

best to not worry

a wrong button was probably pushed at some point
Of course there is

And it goes beyond the reasonable criticism

"VC crowds" absolutely like bashing any regulation whatsoever. And while I can understand the effects on startups, at the same time they ignore the other amount of regulation and gotchas they have to deal in the US

In the same way some 90% of stuff we read about GDPR (or the recent charger regulation) is BS and cheap takes. "can be fined up to 10Mi Euros" is the typical "I don't understand GDPR anti-shibbolet"

There's also one important point that most people don't realize (especially Americans) is that the legal systems are different. And even Common law countries like Ireland and the UK (even before Brexit) worked in very different ways legally (and enforcement wise).

(And of course a lot of things people blame the EU for is just the local country regulation)
> It’s a proportional system and everyone is free to present their own list if they disagree with the existing organisation presenting lists.

This is one of those "the law in its majestic equality" things. It's not practically possible to compete with the full-time political parties without being a full-time political party. And a society that separates its politicians from its people is as bad as that quote about separating its scholars from its warriors.

> The fact that you can’t be bothered to take part in the political life of your country

I get involved, more at a local level, but at a national level I vote, and occasionally I write to my MP - who is a named individual representing a fairly small number of people who can therefore actually hold him accountable. Piss off your constituents enough and it doesn't matter how much the party likes you. Which is a system I'm very happy with, and something that's deeply missing from the EU.
Nicotine is addictive, but not for long - somewhere between 3 days and one week. I don't smoke cigarettes anymore, but switched to vaping. Despite using no-nicotine liquid for ages, I still have cravings - not at all for real cigarettes, just for inhaling. The psychological addiction is far greater than the physical one.
